Essential Packing Tips for Weekend Getaways

Packing efficiently can transform your weekend trip experience. Here are some expert tips to make the most of your rugged carry on bag:

• Plan versatile outfits: Choose clothing that can mix and match easily to reduce bulk.
• Roll your clothes: Rolling saves space and minimizes wrinkles, maximizing your bag’s capacity.
• Use packing cubes: Organize your items by category — toiletries, electronics, clothes — for quick access.
• Limit footwear: Shoes take up significant space; bring only what’s necessary for your activities.
• Pack travel-sized essentials: Keep toiletries light and compliant with airline regulations.
• Leave room for souvenirs: Don’t overpack; you’ll want space for any treasures you pick up along the way.

With these tips, your AWOL canvas or leather duffle bag will be perfectly packed and ready for any adventure.

Canvas vs. Leather Duffle Bags: Which is Right for You?

Choosing between a canvas duffle bag and a leather duffle bag depends on your style and needs. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:

• Canvas Duffle Bags: Made from military-grade waxed canvas, these bags are water-resistant, lightweight, and rugged. They develop a unique patina over time, adding character. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and casual travelers.
• Leather Duffle Bags: Featuring premium leather accents or full leather construction, these bags offer a timeless, sophisticated look. They’re durable and perfect for business trips or those who prefer a classic style.

Both options are handmade in the USA with veteran-owned craftsmanship, ensuring you get a durable weekend bag that fits your lifestyle.

Durability and Care for Your Rugged Carry On Bag

To keep your AWOL duffle bag looking and performing its best, proper care is essential:

For Canvas Bags:

• Brush off dirt regularly with a soft cloth or brush.
• Avoid machine washing; spot clean with cold water only.
• Reapply wax periodically to maintain water resistance.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

For Leather Bags:

• Wipe leather parts with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
• Condition leather regularly with a quality leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water and heat.
• Buff with a dry cloth to restore shine after conditioning.

Following these care tips will extend the life of your rugged carry on bag, keeping it ready for every trip.
